Dual 256‐position I2C Compatible Digital Potentiometers (POTs)

The CAT5271 and CAT5273 are dual 256-position digital programmable linear taper potentiometers ideally suited for replacing mechanical potentiometers and variable resistors.

The wiper settings are controlled through an I2C-compatible digital interface. Upon power-up, the wiper assumes a midscale position and may be repositioned anytime after the power is stable. The devices can be programmed to go to a shutdown state during operation.

The CAT5271 and CAT5273 operate from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, while consuming less than 2 A. This low operating current, combined with a small package footprint, makes them ideal for battery-powered portable applications.
